Savannah Guthrie weighs quitting ‘Today’ show: Sources

(NewsNation) — “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie is weighing a permanent exit from the top-rated morning show as the frantic search for her mother, Nancy Guthrie, drags into its third week, sources tell NewsNation’s Paula Froelich.

Savannah Guthrie has been on leave as the FBI and authorities in Pima County, Arizona, pursue investigative leads into Nancy Guthrie’s Feb. 1 disappearance from her Tucson area home. It’s believed the 84-year-old grandmother was taken, and media outlets have received bitcoin ransom demands.

“This absolutely came out of the blue, and I think she’s really concerned that it was because of her job,” Froelich, NewsNation senior story editor, told “NewsNation Prime” on Saturday.

‘Signal sniffer’ in Nancy Guthrie search used to detect pacemaker She said Savannah Guthrie reportedly wonders if past exposure she has given to her mother on “Today,” including a segment from Nancy Guthrie’s home, planted ideas in the minds of people “with bad characters.” Froelich says it’s widely known that Savannah Guthrie is well-compensated at the NBC show, which she has co-hosted since 2012.

Did not see Savannah stating anything regarding quitting on her Instagram video. She states to the perpetrator(s)

“It’s never to late to do the right thing”

Right, because vagrants never steal electric bicycles with headlights.

It must be a master criminal then.

Not unexpected to me.

I always thought she would have a hard time continuing the morning "happy talk" about how good the Democrat world view would be without Trump, after becoming a victim of that world view.

When they say that a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, they never meant it to be like this.

But there it is.

If it makes you feel any better, Cowgirl of Justice couldn’t make an intelligent reply either.

Yeah, could be but it just seems unlikely to be pushing a body down the street in a grocery cart.

“I don’t think think either of you presented an argument about why I might be wrong.“

What “right wing nut” case are you referring to when you accuse the Guthrie mother disappearance to a right wing nut type of case?

This is a simple question.

I didn't refer to a past case of a right-wing nut committing a political crime. In fact, I can't think of a single case where a right-wing nut has done such a thing. Maybe the nut who left a bomb at the DNC on J7, but since they also left a bomb at the RNC it seems kind of unlikely.

Oh, and I noticed you still haven't tried to tell me where I'm wrong.

Post 22 you said:
“I would expect a right-wing nut job. While the overwhelming majority of the political violence in this country is from the left, there are right-wing nuts out there as well.”

I asked for an example.

Now still in the 80s posts days later we get:

“I didn’t refer to a past case of a right-wing nut committing a political crime. In fact, I can’t think of a single case where a right-wing nut has done such a thing.”

You are wasting mine as well as your own time

Stop

Think outside your box a little.

And you STILL haven’t replied as to WHY you think I’m wrong even though I’ve asked for one 3-4 times. I don’t think you have a reason, so you can just ignore this reply, I guess.

If you send an intelligent reply, I’ll respond. Otherwise, you’re dismissed.

I didn’t say you were wrong. Don’t misrepresent

I asked for a simple simple example of a right wing nut who carried out a disappearance of someone for political reasons

You cannot answer with any example

So stop with the personal barbs. The ad homenim which is not allowed here and stop talking to me. This is a waste

Why was the Idaho murder of four college students in the news for weeks?

Because some stories become more newsworthy due to public interest.

You’ve never given me ANY reason why you think I’m wrong. I never claimed to have knowledge of a crime like this from a right-wing nut.

But here are 5 political cases that fit the pattern of my theory very closely, except in the other direction!

Reminder: on the number line, the distance to -5 is the same as the distance to 5, but in the opposite direction.

1) Crime: attempted assassination of candidate Donald Trump in Butler, PA.
Ideology of intended victim: right-wing.
Perp: left-wing nut.

2) Crime: attempted assassination of President Donald Trump near his golf course in Florida.
Ideology of intended victim: right-wing.
Perp: left-wing nut.

3) Crime: attempted assassination of President Donald Trump but I can’t remember where on this one.
Ideology of intended victim: right-wing.
Perp: left-wing nut.

4) Crime: murder of Charlie Kirk in Utah.
Ideology of victim: right-wing.
Perp: left-wing nut.

5) Crime: murder of CEO in New York.
Ideology of victim: unknown but he represented “evil capitalism” to the perp and so I list him as right-wing.
Perp: left-wing nut.
******

My theory in the Nancy Guthrie case:
Crime: abduction of elderly woman from her home (at least).
Ideology of victim: the woman’s daughter works for a left-wing “news” program. My wife says the daughter is obnoxiously left-wing and I believe the crime was intended to hurt the daughter as much as possible.
Perp: unknown but my theory is right-wing nut.

Convince me I’m wrong.

Drama Queen

Won’t it be wonderful to see the FBI and all other law enforcement give this level of attention and investigation to all missing person crimes from now on?

Or will this level of government concern continue to be reserved for elites?

I don’t get that either. Cameras provide peace of mind by allowing you to check on your home, they cannot physically stop a break-in. A Life alert at the least.

“Prob Nancy Guthrie died early on”

She was on meds that were necessary every 24 hours or death would result. Those meds were still in the house. So there’s about 100% chance you’re correct.

“the blood drops on the porch was a message,”

Those blood drops, to me, were sus from the get-go. So contrived.
